PHILADELPHIA — Gun-safety advocates are launching a $2.1 million ad campaign in Pennsylvania, hammering Republicans Mehmet Oz and Doug Mastriano for their opposition to tougher gun laws, including universal background checks.
The TV and digital ads will launch in the Philadelphia market Wednesday and come as Oz, the GOP candidate for U.S. Senate, has made a major push to try to woo voters in the city and its suburbs.
While Oz has slammed Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman as soft on crime, the first ad in the Everytown campaign argues that Oz’s views make women less safe by potentially making it easier for domestic abusers to obtain guns.
